I've owned a bike of some sort now for the past 35 years.
This is my latest ride:
Its a 250cc KLX Enduro loaded up for my last road trip (1600 miles round-trip) to Deals-Gap (Tail-of-the-Dragon) on TN/NC border.

I have rode for 46 years, currently have BMW f650gs and Goldwing. Serious long distance rider having been to Prudhoe Bay, AK and central Mexico several times. Rode in 09 Iron Butt Rally and numerous extreme ride certifications. Corvette may be more fun and gets many more thumbs up. Also wife can enjoy the fun. 64 still needs a little work before we can hit the open road but is our goal. No two wheel or 4 wheel garage queens. Be Safe

Always have a motorcycle in the mix, for me thats a high performance bike. My 2006 ZX10R is my current ride, although I am overdue for a new bike - might go Italian, but we'll see. Any bike I ride has to wheelie!

DucatiDon

I guess you could say that.....
Ive been riding bikes since 1990, and racing them since 1997.

I just sold my two Ducatis, a 998 and a 1098s....this is my current ride.

RestoMike

Yeah....I ride. It's Raliegh 10 speed street bike (bicycle), use a helmet as well. Great exercise. Couldn't count how many miles this bike as been...1988 model and still pedaling strong.!
Now if any of you feel the need to see the bike I'd certainly load a pic or two onto the post.

135HP on two wheels never gets old.

Traded my 9 second 1966 Chevy II Nova for a 2012 Harley Davidson Streetglide, rode it almost 5000 miles last summer - that a lot of quarter miles in the Nova.

LOL

I've been a rider for 35 years as well , had a couple of crotch rockets in my younger days but have a Harley Electra Glide Ultra now which is perfect for long roadtrips two up and sounds good too.

Pics from Italian and Swiss alps 5.5k miles road trip last summer.

Passo di stelvio here , cold as h3ll at almost 10 000' elevation and too damn hot in the valleys, It ain't easy to be a rider.

Kawi's have been known for strong engines. I have had a Honda XR 650 because the 650 Kawi is heavy and more street than off road. But I like the 250 Kawasaki way better than the 250 Honda and forget the overrated KTM's and BMW yuppie ones. Ya I have had a bunch of motorcycles and crashed most of them, because I can't control my addiction to speed and riding them to the ultimate envelope of performance. I almost died on the last wreck!!!!! 70 new pieces of metal have made me a new guy practically!

Kawasaki ..... My 04 ZX10 makes 165 RWHP but my 2012 made 185!!! Now THATs fun!!

Rons65

Off road only these days - 14 KTM 500 XCW - been riding off road since I returned from Nam in 69! I love being up a mountain/desert trail and the young guys struggling to keep up! Of course I surely do not recover quickly anymore when I do go down, but I will ride as long as I can get my leg over the seat!

Kawasaki 250 in action! Is that a girl or a dude??? His or her concentration to me, gives me the impression that he or she is about to hit something!



Also BMW was yuppie ride. KTM different animal, but I can for the same money modify the XR to leave it in the dust! I respect KTM but still waiting for them to win BAJA! And Paris Dakar what????????

Started in 1959 with a Triumph Bonneville, then the late 60's through most of the 70's with a Honda CB750, Norton Interstate, Suzuki 750 water-cooled 2-stroke triple, last ride was a BMW R90; sold it in 1978, haven't ridden since.

Funny this thread should come up. I just bought this bike about 3 weeks ago. I used to ride dirt bikes all the time when I was younger. I'm going to get back into it a little. 1992 KX 250.

I can relate to the 66 Bonnie. I have a few of the 62 to 70 Triumph and BSA twins. In all, I have 11 of them and I ride them all. I also have a BMW K75S in case I decide to ride more than 100 miles. On a Brit Bike, 100 miles is usually good for some major maintenance and a lot of oil removal.

Motor cycling is a bit of a tradition in our family. My uncle and family were hard core Indian riders... I've been riding Harley Davidson Super-glides for, I keep telling people 25 years , but I think it's 30 ...

OldKarz

First real dirt bike was a Hodaka Wombat 125, then many others. First street bike was a Kawasaki KZ 900, the last 25 years have been all Harleys. Current ride is a 10' Street Glide, stage 3, 110HP. Been riding for almost 45 years. only been down twice on the street, both times I put it down to avoid dumb azzes not paying attention.

Sky65

I've been riding over 45 years. Always had a bike of some type during that time. Single cylinder enduros and twin street bikes. Triumph, Harley and Ducati. I haven't ridden much since I got the Corvette but still have 2 bikes.

91 Ducati 851 Superbike and a 93 Ducati 900SS. I don't have any pics of the 900 handy.

Unfortunately the corvette hobby is second fiddle to my lust for old Kawasaki's/ I restored this bike three years ago, sold it two years ago and bought it back today from whom I sold it to. Good day to be me
Happy New Year
